“Vibrant. Classy aged Sem, toast & lanolin, citrus & hot buttered toast. Hot buttered toast & citrus, moreish & long flavour. Food : enhanced the flavour length and made the wine even more moreish.”

“A delightful Semillon with some age delivering the typical lime curd on toast type aromas that come with time and seems a little more acidic with the food but still a delight”

“Bright pale lemon. Light lemon-juice and blossom, dried linen, hints of honey. Very clean, fine palate structure, gentle citrus flavours, fresh acid, tight dry finish. Food: Very food-friendly wine ? the citrus flavours complement the dish well.”

“A lovely slightly toasty nose through to the palate. Hints of melon and cut straw coming through. A lovely crisp acidity on the finish. Aging well. A good match with the snapper dish as the creaminess and softness of the dish balance out the aged elements of the Semillon.”

“Light yellow. Earthy, oily lemony floral nose. Light, dry, oily, floral, lightly toasty fruit, balanced,, good mid-palate persistence. Dry, long oily, toasty finish. Pairing seemed to strip some of the richness of the wine, with no impact on fish flavour.”

“Bright pale straw colour. Wonderfully complex aromas of lanolin, toast and hints of citrus. That complexity comes through on the palate, it is multidimensional without losing focus. The back palate is long and savoury proving an outstanding match with food.”
